    Abstract: Method, metrology modules and RCA tool are provided, which use the behavior of resonance region(s) in measurement landscapes to evaluate and characterize process variation with respect to symmetric and asymmetric factors, and provide root cause analysis of the process variation with respect to process steps. Simulations of modeled stacks with different layer thicknesses and process variation factors may be used to enhance the analysis and provide improved target designs, improved algorithms and correctables for metrology measurements. Specific targets that exhibit sensitive resonance regions may be utilize to enhance the evaluation of process variation.
